Abstract

Familicide is a term used to define killing multiple family members. It is a rare but takes attention in the community. It may be towards parents (parricide) and siblings besides killing spouse and/or child. In this study, we presented three different familicide cases in Afyonkarahisar. The information was obtained from the Criminal Court documents.Most of the victims were women and kids. The perpetrators were from low socioeconomic status and had low educational degree. One of the perpetrators was detected to have alcohol and ecstasy abuse in history. The commitments were made in a planning manner due to ongoing intra family troubles and violence. It was found that some of the victims had been threatened by the perpetrators.In conclusion, the commitment of familicide events has some preemptive features to be prevented and further studies are needed.

Özet

Familicide, çok sayıda aile üyesinin öldürülmesi olayını tanımlayan bir terimdir. Az rastlanan ancak toplumda çok dikkat çeken olaylardır. Çocuk ve eşe yönelik olabildiği gibi anne-baba ve kardeşlere yönelik de olabilmektedir.Bu çalışmada Afyonkarahisar’da gerçekleşmiş 3 ayrı familicide olayı sunulmuştur. Bilgiler yargılamanın yapıldığı Ağır Ceza Mahkemelerinin dosyalarından toplanmıştır.Mağdurların çoğunlukla kadın ve çocuklardan oluştukları gözlemlenmiştir. Sanıkların alt gelir grubunda ve eğitim düzeylerinin düşük oldukları belirlenmiştir. Bir sanığın alkol ve ekstazi kullandığı anlaşılmıştır.Olayların uzun süredir devam eden sorunlar ve aile içi şiddet varlığı zemininde önceden planlanarak gerçekleştiği, sanıkların mağdurlardan bazılarını daha önce öldürmekle tehdit ettikleri anlaşılmıştır.Familicide olaylarının önlenebilir nitelik taşıdıkları dikkat çekici bulunmuş, bu konuda çalışmalar yapılmasının gerekli olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
